Magic potions for sale
As kids, we grow up watching movies and reading stories about all kinds of magical creatures, places and spells. Some of us might have even gone so far as to sit in the bottom of the garden, concocting all kinds of potions. We'd imagine that - if we were to drink that dirty drain water with some of our mom's favourite flowers smashed in - we might become invisible, or invincible, or fall in love.
As we grow up, we come to realise there isn't really such a thing as magic, but there sure as hell are potions. Some are better saved for weekends, while one in particular is necessary for most of us to function daily. Yep, we're talking about coffee. You know it. We know it even better, which is why our main deal is 2x 200g jars of instant coffee from Douwe Egberts. Bottoms up!
